Summary:
Bayville, New Jersey, has six schools: three serving elementary grades, two serving middle grades, and one high school, covering students from elementary through high school. In 2025–2026, the grade 3–8 school averages were 39% in ELA and 33% in math, compared with 49% and 43% statewide. Most reported results in both subjects were below their corresponding state rates, making the broadest concern the consistent achievement gap across grade 3–8 ELA and math.
Central Regional Middle School stands out most positively: eighth-grade Algebra I proficiency was 90%, 16 points above the state rate of 75%. Among elementary schools, Bayville Elementary School led third-grade ELA at 44%, though it was still 4 points below the state. Leaders differ by subject and grade: H & M Potter School led third-grade math at 40%, while Clara B. Worth Elementary School led fourth-grade math at 34%. At the lower end, Central Regional High School had ninth-grade ELA proficiency of 30% versus 51% statewide and NJGPA math of 42% versus 61%. SchoolDigger ranks it in the 19th percentile with one star; Central Regional Middle is in the 34th percentile with two stars.
Across matched grade 3–8 results, the average distance from state rates widened by about 5 percentage points from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, although some scores improved: Bayville Elementary’s third-grade ELA rose from 35% to 44%, narrowing its state gap. SchoolDigger’s three-year percentile ranks also declined for several schools; current ranks include the 32nd percentile for Bayville Elementary and 29th percentile for both Clara B. Worth and H & M Potter, each with one star. As context, reported free/reduced lunch eligible rates for 2024–2025 ranged from 27% at Clara B. Worth to 44% at H & M Potter; student-teacher ratios ranged from 10.6 at Central Regional Middle to 12.9 at Central Regional High. These measures do not point to a simple pattern identifying which school leads.
